Act III, Scene 1. A shady valley between the village and the castle.
The villagers are proceeding to the castle to beg _Rodolpho_ to intercede with _Elvino_ for _Amina_. _Elvino_ meets _Amina_. Still enraged at what he considers her perfidy, he snatches from her finger the ring he gave her. _Amina_ still loves him. She expresses her feelings in the air: "Ah! perchè non posso odiarti" (Ah! Why is it I cannot hate him [Transcriber's Note: should be 'hate you']).
